The Armies of France Today.

Yes, France has made tremendous
strides since 1870, and her military
strength today has assumed really for
midable proportions. One of the most
praiseworthy acts of the war ministry
was the immediate change effected after
the war in the general staff, and the con-
dition of this body of men is now on a
par with any organization in Europe Of
the same nature.
Formerly the officers of the general
staff were not taken from the army.
They were first educated at the Polytech-
mic, Or at st. Cyr, and then passed into
the school Of application for the general
staff; thence they were sent for one year
to an infantry regiment, one year to a
cavalry regiment and latterly for half a
year to the artillery, but it must be re-
marked. that during this service they
did no actual regimental duty. After
they passed through these so called
schools they at once entered the general
staff as captains, and, unfortunately,
usually as aides-de-camp to general Off
GERS. Now man may be, socially, very
amiable, and, socially, very accom-
plished, and therefore extremely well
fitted to be an aide-de-camp to a general,
to manage his menus plaisirs, and yet
not be in the least qualified for staff
officer in the proper sense of the word.
So when many of the general officers
were promoted and their aides-de-camp
carried up grade with them, it often
placed these young officers in positions of
immense importance, often calling for
the performance of dutses which they
were incapable of performing. And
these were the officers to whom the de-
Tending of many of the fortresses in 1870
was intrusted, and who had been ordered
to their strengthening previous to the
breaking out of hostilities.
What could one expect from such ma
terial? Today the armies of France are
well differed, the condition of the line
excellent, the esprit de corps good and
the frontier defense formidable. God

A Noted Preachers Method.

/ take great deal of outdoor exercise,
either by walking or in a carriage. / re-
tire early and rise early, invariably at the
same hours every day. indulge in light
gymnastic exercises almost daily, and
battle three times week during the
summer in water that is comfortable to
the feelings, and twice week during the
cold weather. believe in the old saving
that cleanliness is next to goodness, 2
for without it and attention to diet, it is
of little use to try to keep from disease.
There is nothing like correct diet and a
well regulated general regimen. Con-
sidering the many dangers to which the
average man is exposed, it is surprising
that he should remain in health SO long
as he does. But parental nature fire.
quently repairs the injury, unknown to
him. I believe that, if man eats SPAR
ingly and drinks little, he is sure of bring
ing no i'll health upon himself, and that
moderate supply of food nourishes the
body best. The quantity of food which
nature really requires for her support is
small, and he,that lives temporarily and
drinks moderately at each meal, as Hip
pocrates says, stands fair to enjoy spright-
illness, yivacity and freedom of spirits.-

The Electrical rrne,rritor.

And now finally as to the electrical
typewriter. A friend in the patent Office
at Washington writes to ask me to keep
cool. The device has been already in
vented and is now about half patented.
By the time this appears in print the
patent will be complete. The machine
win work at any distance over which q
wire can be placed. My correspondent
believes that it can be worked on the
other side of the ocean connected with
this side by the cable. This doubt, as
the current is SO weak either OH account
of seasiclness or other reasons by the
time it gets to the other side that all it is
able to do is to defect very small mir
ror SO delicately poised as to be practi-
cally suspended in the air. Still If the

The Papsr for the Million Still at the Front

The Western Rural and American
Stockman of Chicago is one of the
most progressive and thoroughly
practical farm journals of this country
It is also the largest as well as the
best of its class and is always at the
front on the leading questions which
affect the interests OF the farmer and
stock-raiser.
The Western Rural Is the parent of
the Farmers Alliance Movement
which is growing strong in all the
Western States. The organization
has done much to break up combine
tions which seriously cripple the I'm
terests of agriculture and has set in
motion influences which must crysta-
lize into legislation to put in check
the greed Of corporate capital. The
price of The Rural, $1.60 per year, is
marvelously low for SO large journal.

The Manitobs and Northern Pacific

The Manitoba and Northern Pacific
railre ads cling TO their four cent pas
senger rate with desperation. Long
ago the people living along these
lines ofroad came to the conclusion
that the four cent rate is nothing bet
ter than grand larceny and the rail-
way commissioners have at last de-
cided that the rate is unjust and I'M
reasonable and have ordered re-
duction to three cents. Still the old
rate is collected. In disobeying the
order OF the commissioners, the rail-
roads are defying the law ofthe state.
Now the question seems to he, which
is greater, these railroads or the state
OF Minnesota?

A Dining Car Line to the Pacific Ocean.

n UliiilS NdI kiHc W tHe Se'"S SSe"'
The Northern Pacific Railroad, the
only one OF the transcontiental lines
running dining cars through to the
Pacific coast, announced a new time
schedule taking effect Nov. 20, 1887.
The principal features of this new
schedule are:
First. Twelve hours quicker time
from st. Paul to Helena and Butte,
Montana, and twenty-four hours
shorter to Portland, Ore, Tacoma, w.
t., and all North Pacific coast points
by the limited express leaving st.
Paul at 4 P. NJ. daily. The time of
No. 2, the corresponding train east
bound, will be shortened seventeen
hours.
Second. An additional through ex-
press train, to which will be attached
Pullman sleepers dining cars and
smigrant sleepers, leaving st. Paul at
8 A. NJ. daily, for Helena, Butte, Mis-
soula, Spokane Falls and Eastern
Washington points; this train max
ing the through time five hours quick
er than the former Pacific coast ex-
press, giving the intended Pacific
coast settler fourteen hours quicker
time than heretofore.
Third. Three express trains daily
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to
Moorhead, Mimi, Fargo and James
town, D. r., with through Pullman
sleepers to Grand Forks, Fergus Falls
Wahpeton and principal points in
North Dakota.
The Northern Pacific not only of
fers to the travelling public the best
train service, including its famous
dining cars, Pullman palace drawing
room and sleeping cars, emlgrant
sleepers and splendid day coaches,
but from Chicago and all Eastern
cities to Portland, Ore, as quick time
as by any other route, while to Butte
and Helena, Mont, it is the shortest
line by one hundred and seventy-six
and three hundred and sixty-six miles
respectively, actually saving the
traveller to Butte six hours, and to
Helena, eighteen hours, as against
any other line.
The great reduction in time will be
of particular interest to all classes OF
travel, especially Yellowstone Park
and Pacific coast excursionlsts con-
templating a return trip by the all
rail line-the "Mt. Shasta" route
between San Francisco and Portland,
and trip along the Columbia river
or over the famous Cascade noun
tains via the Northern Pacific.
